“I wanted to retain the uninterrupted
views from the shower, but needed to provide privacy as well.”
The solution was something that Gacesa
says may never have been done before – the
glass panel between the shower and vanity
is a massive one-way mirror, made more
effective by the dark wall in the shower
and the ceiling lights above the vanity.
“It’s a trick you don’t get sick of. I like
to create illusions, so people look at something – and do a double-take.”

Facing page and top: Like the dressing room
behind it, the shower can be accessed from both
sides. The back wall of the shower has a central
panel of Corian, flanked by the same Hosowari
porcelain tiles used on the wall behind the bed.
Above: The glass panel between the shower and
vanity has three layers, includin g one with the fret
pattern seen elsewhere in the suite. From within
the shower, the view is maintained, while from the
bathroom side the glass is mirror-like.
Left: The suite is like a luxury self-contained hotel
room, complete with a small kitchen and laundry.
